She was only seventeen lost in the spaces in between
Looking for a place she could belong
He was a new face on the scene another punk with his heart on his sleeve
He was gonna change the world with his song
But the world has its own ideas we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone we all sing one heart song
We All Sing Along
Mrs. Jones cries herself to sleep Valium and a bottle of gin to keep Mrs. Jones lonely body warm at night
Marriage aint all she thought it would be
Bought into the whole suburban fantasy
Everything was gonna be just right
But the world has its own ideas we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone we all sing one heart song
We All Sing Along
An old man starts another day alone a cardboard bed for his home
He feels the young ones stare behind his back
He sees himself in their pride he sees himself in their arrogant stride
He was gonna be a big CEO
But the world has its own ideas we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone we all sing one heart song
We All Sing Along

General Commentmjsos53 has it right. This song just gives different examples of how people had their own agendas, but they never work out because the world revolves around no one. A good, and true song.
